Gas Pump Fire Video
Some say that getting back into her car was
the mistake. I tend to believe that adjusting
her "synthetic" shirt probably generated the
static electricity. You should always touch the
metal part of the gas pump handle first when
reaching for it. This will give the static
electricity an opportunity to drain off.
Cop Crash
Are you a good Samaritan? A lot of
American's are and would stop and
help someone on the side of the road.
Before you do, watch this video clip
and know that this happens many
times every year.
Crash Testing a Barrier
This is a test on barriers for stopping
explosives packed trucks. Truck weighs
65,000 lbs. 50 mph, kinetic energy = 5.5
million ft lbs. Stopped the truck in 24 inches.
Deer Hunt
Have you been deer hunting without
a rifle again? In the oilfield, we drive
a lot of miles in rural areas. As you
watch this video clip try and move
your hand from the mouse and click
the spacebar the moment you see
the deer. That's about how long it
would take your foot to react from
gas to brake.
Play with Fire?
Some people just don't get it.
Playing with fire is dangerous.
Any questions?
Play with Knives?
Working for QVC can be quite
hazardous. Here is an example
why we shouldn't play with knives
video. It is also an example of
inferior foreign products.
In a hurry?
Getting in a hurry can cause an accident.
Ever notice how people who were in a
hurry before the accident suddenly have
time to visit the hospital?
Gettin enough sleep at night?
This guy could have a sleeping disorder or
partied all night. I don't know anything about
the clip but it sure looks real. Update 2008, I
found out this guy was a taxi driver who didn't
know his boss installed cameras. This is a
real crash!
Think you are safe as a pedestrian?
Think again. About 5000 pedestrians killed each
year. Half of those are children. Watch this real video
and see what I mean. The guy on the upper left is struck
by a car that was hit by another car. The first crash
actually created a cavity which covered the pedestrian
and actually allowed him to survive

Police are in control, er,
maybe not.
Flying Tire
This poor guy is just trying to get some gas.
This should be a lesson to all of us to pay
attention to our surroundings.
Alligators Bite!
This is taking thrill-seeking to a new level. I
wonder if the pay was worth it?
Are you teachable?
They just keep on coming - this is
a Greek tragedy.
Snowplow
How easy it is to stand in the wrong
place. She figures it out pretty
quick though.
Safety in Weightlifting!?!
This guy really gets himself in trouble.
Men are not designed to bend that way.
Boom!
I hope his hair grows back. This is
why you shouldn't experiment with
explosive chemicals.
Lift planning
Watch this 'Truck Lift" and see what
went wrong!

Shortcut?
The reason I show so many accidents on my website is that I think I have been instinctively trying to prove what I
recently heard a psychologist say "humans don't calculate risk very well". This is very true and I am just trying to
show the evidence. I am certainly not trying to beat up any industry or any particular people. From the very wealthy to
the highly educated to the very poor, we humans continually prove the need for training and education so that we can
make better decisions.

Roof Knockdown
This is devastating and I am sure
expensive. I just hope nobody was
injured.
